This major exhibition of contemporary art is the first of its kind to visit China from Ireland. It forms part of the cultural exchange programme between Ireland and China taking place in 2004.
Many of these issues reflect the major social and economic changes that Ireland has been experiencing in recent years. Curator Catherine Marshall says:' I am sure that some if not many of these issues will be familiar to the Chinese people as their own country witness similar changes. I believe that this exhibition will also highlight the impressive variety of creative technique and media employed by Irish artists. The works in this exhibition, which date for the most part date back to the early 1990’s, include for example paintings, sculpture and video works. '
